Figure 1. Tile Connection Stages
1. After disconnection, walk toward the Bluetooth tracker until it reacquires connection
indicated by Figure 1c. Using the rangefinder, record this distance. From our experience,
the connected until disconnected range is greater than the reacquisition range.
2. To ensure connection reliability, take 5 steps toward the Bluetooth device. If the Tile app
indicator goes back to the connecting state (dotted green circle Figure 1b), then that
means the connection was broken while walking toward the device. The initial connection
could have been caused by constructive multipath interference and is therefore not
indicative of the device’s actual range. You should disregard that data point and continue
walking towards the device.
3. Obtain at least 5 “connection reacquisition distance” measurements.
4. Table 1 (below) illustrates an example of how data should be recorded.
